Top ways to experience The Lord Moon Of the Mall and nearby attractions
The area
Neighbourhood: Westminster
If you only had an afternoon to experience London on a grand scale, Westminster would be a wise place to start. The ornate Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey sit adjacent at a corner of Parliament Square, and a short stroll along The Mall leads to Buckingham Palace. Trafalgar Square and Nelson's Column are just up the road as well. As captivating as the architecture is, the wonders of Mother Nature are highlights of the area too. St James's Park (arguably London's loveliest), the expansive Green Park, and pedestrian friendly tree lined paths along the river showcase the exquisite manicure provided by English gardeners. Just beyond the landmarks and the gorgeous outdoor spaces, quiet residential squares and age old local pubs offer a more subdued take on this global seat of power in the heart of London.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Typical Weatherspoon pub, ordered food and drinks from our table and it arrived within ten minutes( just jacket potatoes, side salad and lemonade) hot tasty and filling. Had to wait for about 5 minutes to find our own table, but lots of people coming and going. Eat and leave kind of place. Cheap and satisfying and lovely staff

One of many pubs now operated by the J D Wetherspoon chain, so some folks love these while others don't. This was one of several J D Wetherspoon pubs I visited in March 2013 across England and Wales and I fould them to be well run with good food and drink valiues. Their burger with chips (fries) a drink deal is excellent at this location, considering this is in central London. Just down Whitehall Street from Trafalgar Square and the Charring Cross tube station.

On 16 December I shared a few pre-Christmas drinks with colleagues at the Lord Moon on Whitehall. We were all drinking a well kept John Hudson Bitter (JHB) advertised at £3.30 a pint. However, the bar staff were charging £3.55 – this was realised only after we returned from the bar (it was very busy) so it was not queried at the time. Worse was to come. When it was my round I was told the JHB was off so I asked for a round of Trafalgar Bitter that was clearly marked on the pump clip at £2.85 a pint. The bar woman asked for £3.33 a pint. When I pointed out that the pump clip displayed £2.85 a pint she said that it was wrong and that I should pay the higher price. I pointed out that they must charge the displayed price and asked for the manager, expecting him to resolve the issue sensibly. Instead he ordered the bar woman to remove the £2.85 price clip and insisted I pay £3.33. I pointed out that he could not do that and also pointed out that we had been overcharged when buying the JHB. He became rude and confrontational, scoffing at my point that it was a breach of Trading Standards. At this point I decided to walk away and will not return. I will however be interested to see what Wetherspoon head office make of this.

May I start off by saying that I am a great fan of Wetherspoons Hotels and pubs and find that they are usually very well run and provide excellent value for money.
I visited the Lord Moon on Sunday lunchtime (15th July 2012) with my wife whilst we were visiting London for the weekend.
On entering the bar it seemed that the staff seemed to be either thin on the ground or disorganised; indeed they were not very smart and did not seem outwardly happy of friendly. On the face of it, they appeared to be lacking motivation and job satisfaction.
At the table next to us were three young ladies from the USA who had ordered food together; however the meals appeared in 15 minute intervals. The first two meals that were served 15 minutes apart were a chicken meal and a Sunday lunch; both of which did not look very appetising. Indeed the girls picked at their meals and left them almost untouched. Eventually the last meal appeared (A burger) which to be fair looked more appetising.
I felt embarrassed that our oversees guests impression of our pub food was so disappointing; especially more so because it was a Wetherspoon’s establishment.
We did not order food because of the presentation of the meals which looked appalling e.g. roast potatoes appeared burned and crispy.
Come on Wetherspoons, get your act together, this establishment is your showcase in the centre of the Capital for the world to see.
Do something about it!

This typical weatherspoons pub is located near Trafalgar, there are better pubs to sample in London, its typical cheap alcohol and lively busy atmosphere.

For a Wetherspoons pub it had quite a nice, authentic atmosphere. Service at the bar is swift and the actual venue is full of character. Plenty of variety on tap with the beers (as there seems to be at all wetherspoons) and overall a good pub with reasonably priced, clearly labeled ales.

This was the first time I'd been to London in years and years - this place was great - we got in a little bit before the afternoon rush and managed a table.
We stayed until close and enjoyed it immensely !
Some complain that its cheap or poorly portioned - Cheap in my book is great and I found the portions were great.
Good selection of booze and pretty good bar staff.
I'll most likely be back !

Situated just near Trafalgar Square. It modded as the old British pub but embracing modernization . It's a hangout of urban working class and busy afternoon lunch onwards. Closes at 23Hr00. Has free Wifi which is a bit an crowded. Serves a ray of cocktails and pub meals.The atmosphere is vibrant.

Popped in for late lunch this afternoon ordered a burger each waited.... They arrived and were stone cold even the cheese had not even started to melt that's how cold they were. This was the first time I have ever complained about food in a weatherspoons. The waitress snatched the plates away then returned with replacement food but it was the wrong food by this time I was losing the will to live. Sorted about the food my husband has an onion allergy and made the best of a disatetous lunch. Safe to say we will not be going back and in all honesty I doubt we will go to another weatherspoons again.
